The cement industry will be able to take the lead in the crisis, open up a new situation in the changing situation, and move towards a future of higher energy efficiency and greener environmental protection.

On June 13, the 11th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference and Equipment Renewal Forum, sponsored by China Cement Network, was held in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Shao Jun, chairman of

China Cement Network, delivered an important speech. Shao Jun said that in 2024, the cement market suffered from weak demand and fierce competition, which led to a continuous decline in product prices and unprecedented pressure on the industry. Enterprises are deeply aware that energy saving and carbon reduction is not only the inevitable requirement of responding to the national green development strategy, but also the core strategy for the survival and sustainable development of enterprises.

Shao Jun introduced that the conference, with the theme of "equipment renewal, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, and technology upgrading", invited the elites of the industry to study and exchange together, and to discuss and analyze the practical path of high-quality development of equipment renewal and green upgrading in the cement industry, "in line with the strengths of all, there is no disadvantage". Shao Jun expressed his belief that with the joint efforts of all of us, the cement industry will be able to take the lead in the crisis, open up a new situation in the changing situation, and move towards a more energy-efficient, greener and environmentally friendly future.

The following is the full text of the speech:

Distinguished guests, colleagues in the industry, friends:

Good morning!

Welcome to Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, to attend the 11th China Cement Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Technology Exchange Conference and Equipment Renewal Forum. Here, on behalf of China Cement Network, I would like to express my sincere greetings and warm welcome to all the guests!

In 2024, the cement market suffered from weak demand and fierce competition, which led to a continuous decline in product prices and unprecedented pressure on the industry. Enterprises are deeply aware that energy saving and carbon reduction is not only the inevitable requirement of responding to the national green development strategy, but also the core strategy for the survival and sustainable development of enterprises.

This year, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Consumer Goods Replacement, and the Special Measures for the Management of Investment in the Central Budget for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission, in order to promote the renewal of large-scale production equipment in the cement industry and accelerate the upgrading of energy conservation and environmental protection in the cement industry. It provides an important opportunity to enhance the core competitiveness of cement enterprises. On May 27, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the General Administration of Market Supervision and the State Energy Administration jointly issued the Special Action Plan for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in the Cement Industry, which is specifically aimed at the cement industry. Six key tasks are put forward, including optimizing industrial layout and capacity regulation, speeding up energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and renewal of energy-using equipment, implementing low-carbon fuel substitution, promoting green transformation of cement production mode and products, promoting resource recycling and upgrading digital management level, and anchoring two time nodes in 2025 and 2030. The main objectives of cement clinker production capacity layout, energy efficiency level, energy saving and carbon reduction effect were put forward in detail, and the work grasp and implementation path of promoting energy saving and carbon reduction in cement industry were further clarified.

China Cement Network has been deeply engaged in the industry for more than 20 years, relying on huge data accumulation, building a large data platform for building materials, and constantly improving the industrial large data system with large data, market communication, cement index, concrete index and photovoltaic glass index as the core. Recently, it has launched a global cement price map and started to set foot in overseas business to help the industry break the "involution" and open up a broader overseas market. We will also continue to give full play to the advantages of the platform, rely on digital services such as cement big data and industry "brain", provide comprehensive factor data support for the green development and low-carbon transformation of the industry, and work hand in hand with the industry. With the theme of "Equipment Renewal, Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement, Technology Upgrading",

this conference invites elites from all walks of life to study and exchange together, and to discuss and analyze the practical path of high-quality development of equipment renewal and green upgrading in the cement industry. The cement industry will be able to take the lead in the crisis, open up a new situation in the changing situation, and move towards a future of higher energy efficiency and greener environmental protection.

Finally, I wish all the distinguished guests a smooth work and a happy life, and I wish this conference a complete success!
